What's your favorite Beer?

@Chris:

What size are the bottles there?

Haha - first question I asked to Geers when they posted it today… They're 35cls bottles!.. So that's awesome... Well: it's more convenient... Four pack it is...

@neph93:

Strong Saisons give me the horn…

Same!.. Saison Rue is the best one at 9%!..

@Seul:

Saison Rue is the best one

Duly noted…

[Seul]

But nothing beats Orval… Yes: it's not regularly described as a saison, and technically probably isn't one, but in my mind it is the best farmhouse ale out there...

[neph93]

Word. I tend to always have a bottle on standby. Just damn tasty.

I've been watching Geers' timeline like a shithawk since they posted about Dieu du Ciel yesterday and yes sir: 4 hours ago they posted they now have PECHE MORTEL…

Going tomorrow morning...

Don't blame you. Just had a look at their website. This looks special:
ISSEKI NICHO (ISSEKI NICHO)
Imperial Dark Saison - 9.5% alc./vol.
341 ml (11.5 fl.oz.)

This very unique beer was born in 2009 from a special collaboration between Dieu du ciel! and Shiga Kougen, a brewery from Nagano, Japan. Black in color, it is an hybrid between an Imperial Stout and a Belgian Saison. It presents predominant bitterness and roasted malt flavours, balanced by strong alcohol content. The finale is dry, complex and spicy, a typical signature given by Saison yeasts.

So good…

[neph93]

Tasty, tasty stuff. Not magnificent, but pretty, bloody good.

[Seul]

Blame Canada.

Sorry Seul, Atrial sold out by Saturday afternoon. Maybe I'll get some later this summer!

[Seul]

All good man, no worries.

@Seul:

I thought Halia was good, Sophie was ok.  My favorite from Goose Island is still Lolita.

[Seul]

They only had Mathilda, but I didn't buy that… That Halia best be fucking good at 18 €/ bottle... 

Finally some more Dupont saison... Love this stuff...

[Seul]

Well this is pretty damn good. Raspberry ed.

They have this at my monopoly. One of the good ones, @Andreas1965 ?

No way
Actually it weren't much more than 5 or 6 beers per day, Maastricht is always tempting, especially a place called "Take One". You usually don't order a beer there, the waiter will ask you "what's your taste today", and you try to describe what you would like. They have a choice of around 350 beers and the guy is always spot on (if your description is half decent).

I liked it a lot. Not bitter at all, spices and herbs, very smooth beer.
